Time Bomb

Chapter 28

Clint and I finally managed to get outside and stopped in our tracks at the sight before us. The entire compound had been destroyed to nothing. Just rubble all over the place. Steve, Tony, and Thor all approached us.
"Someone else decided to pay us a visit from the past." Tony said and pointed straighter ahead. Clint and I looked forward and as I noticed who it was... that's when the boiling began. Deep down in my core. There was no more keeping it bottled up. The only reason I'm keeping it down now is because it's not time yet.
Thor raised Stormbreaker and instantly was geared up from the lightning. Tony handed me a bag.
"Get your gear on. We're gonna need all the help we can get. As much as I don't want anything happening to you, we need you kiddo. Steve told me about your fight training from T'Challa. You'll be able to help." He said and patted my shoulder.
I nodded and went back inside the remaining bit of building left behind us. I quickly changed into the suit Tony packed for me. It looks just like Bucky's... like exactly like it. A red star on the left shoulder to resemble the old winter soldier arm. A felt a tear roll down my cheek and quickly wiped it away. I tossed the bag with my previous outfit to the side. I kept Bucky's tags around my neck. I pressed a kiss to them before tucking them safely back under my shirt and jacket.
I walked back out to meet the boys.
"Ahh, I knew that would look great on you." Tony said and smiled at me.
"Oh wow, you really captured Bucky's suit in a style that suits her more. It's perfect, Tony. Great work." Steve said, admiring my suit.
"Let's do this, then." Thor said and jumped down from the cliff top we were standing in. Clint and I stayed behind. He pulled out his bow, ready to shoot when needed. Tony, Steve, and Thor all approached Thanos. They talked for a few moments before the fighting began.
When they all went back in time, Thor brought back his old hammer so he's fighting with both that and Stormbreaker. Steve is throwing out some decent blows and good hits from the shield. Tony shooting out his lasers.

"I should be down there. Avenging what he did to Bucky. I can beat him and you know it, Clint." I said, turning to face him.
"No, Dani. Not yet. We need to go find Bruce, Scott, and Rocket. They never came out of the rubble. Come on." He said and pulled me back into the rubble with him.

We got to the bottom of the rubble and found Rocket.
"Where is everyone else?" I asked, helping him up.
"I don't know. I thought I heard them over coms but then it all went silent. We gotta get out of here though, before the rest of this building comes tumbling down on top of us." Rocket said and we reluctantly made our way back out.
As we approached the opening to lead us back outside, I hear static in the com piece that Tony included in the bag from earlier.

"Hey Cap, you read me?" Someone said over the coms. Confused, I stepped outside and noticed everyone but Steve beaten and laid out on the ground around Thanos. An entire army of creatures behind him. I put my focus on Steve.
"On your left." I heard over coms and watched in complete awe as a portal opened up behind Steve on his left. A portal that I've only ever seen 1 person do. Stephen Strange.
T'Challa, Shuri and a bunch of the Wakandan army began walking through the portal as more portals, tons of them opened up all over. Letting more and more people walk through. I made my way down the cliff side and came side by side with Steve.
"You sure you wanna be down here, Dani? This is going to get ugly." He asked, keeping his attention forward.
"Oh yeah. I've got a neat trick up my sleeve that I'm dying to use on this motherfucker." I said and turned away from Steve to face Thanos.
"Language." He said and I smiled.
"Oh shut it, Cap." I said and heard him chuckle.
As everyone gathered around us and readied for the fight ahead, Steve took a step forward.
"Avengers!!" He yelled out and everyone silenced. I positioned myself, ready to run.
"Assemble." He said and everyone started running at Thanos and his army. I ran up a broken piece of the building that would give me a height advantage to Thanos. As I reached the edge of it, I jumped down. Landing just a few feet in front of Thanos.
"You took everything from me." I said, letting the anger boil up inside of me. And it was happening quick.
"I don't even know you." He said, cocking his head to the side.
"You will." I said and let a beam erupt from my chest, blasting him at least 50 feet away. I ran over to him and jumped on him. Throwing punches to his face. He grabbed hold of my arm and tossed me away from him.
"Dani!" I heard Clint yell over coms. As I was about to hit the ground, someone caught me. I noticed a chill run up my spin immediately.
"Hey you." An extremely familiar voice said. Quickly, I turned to face him and fell to my knees.
"Bucky?" I breathed out, doing everything I could to hold back the tears threatening to spill.
"Hey baby." He said and kneeled in front of me, pulling me to him. I snapped out of the shock I was in and threw my arms around him.
"Oh my god, you're back. I didn't see you when the portals opened. I didn't think you had come back." I said, pushing back the tears.
"I'll always come back to you, Dani. Now let's go kick this guys ass." He said and pulled me to my feet with him as he stood up.
